Pet care experience

Caring, reliable pet care

Having had pets all my life and caring for a wide variety of animals, I now want to offer my experience to others. Pet care is easy to find, but finding the right pet care — care that truly suits you and meets your best friend’s individual needs — can feel much harder. Having struggled myself to find the right care for my senior, diabetic dog, I understand how important trust, patience, and attention to detail really are. I understand worries about medication schedules, routines, and whether your pet will receive the same level of care and understanding that you provide at home. This experience inspired me to offer a pet sitting service built around compassion, reliability, and tailored care. I treat every animal as an individual, taking time to understand their personality, health needs, and routines, so you can feel confident they are safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for whilst in my care.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I will care for your pet as if they were my own, always prioritising their comfort, safety, and wellbeing. Before any booking, I arrange a meet‑and‑greet to ensure I fully understand both your pet’s individual needs and your expectations. I treat every home with the utmost respect and care, recognising that I am being welcomed into your personal space. By taking time to build trust quickly with both you and your pet, I aim to ease any feelings of worry or anxiety while you’re away. If desired, I am happy to provide regular photo and video updates with each drop‑in visit, offering you peace of mind and reassurance.

Nicola was really great with our cats, and we felt reassured having her look after them whilst we were away. Great updates, and so willing to help.

The garden is secure , and they get plenty of lovely walks , so I don't hesitate at all in recommending nicola you won't worry because they are in special hands . She is very much an animal lover and absolutely loves her own 2 little dogs . Go for it you won't be sorry . Christine x

Just wanted to say that Nicola was incredible throughout the whole process. Really professional with great attention to detail and clearly loves dogs. She kept us updated and our dog absolutely loved her. Highly recommend Nicola!

I've known Nicola for a long time, she's got pets herself and is more then capable of taking really good care of animals. She is very trustworthy, honest, and knows what she is doing, concerning caring for pets. She, herself has 2 dogs, and one of them has to be injected with insulin twice a day, and needs a special diet to keep his condition under control. She has looked after my cat on numerous occasions when I've had trips away, and he absolutely adores her. She is a very capable young woman, who knows exactly what to do in animal care. I've never been disappointed, and I'm sure other people would be happy with her professional care and compassion with their pets.

Nicola has cared for my cat for the past 3 years. He is an indoor cat so loves his cuddles and playtime when I am away. She has taken him on vet appointments without hesitation when I could not take him. I really do recommend Nicola to look after your pet, not only does she show love and care but she has a real understanding and good knowledge of what animals need and want.

If there are any specific needs or requirements to consider, I will take the time to fully understand these before our first session.
